Gogs Installation

Step 1: Install Gogs#

Start the Gogs server:

• Open a new terminal window
• cd gogs
• ./gogs web -port 8000
• Minimize the terminal window

The Gogs Git server is preloaded to the LVM at /home/devops/dk/gogs. The ./gogs web command starts the Gogs server on port 3,000. We can minimize this terminal window while Gogs is running.

To install Gogs, we must do the following:

• Start the browser by clicking the widget URL.
• Select “SQLite3” from the “Database Type” drop-down.
• Enter “root” in the “Run User” field.
• Remove the “Application URL” and copy the widget URL. Place the widget URL “:8000/” in the “Application URL” field.
• Scroll to the bottom and click the “Install Gogs” button.

The first time we access Gogs, it will prompt us to set it up. The SQLite3 database is a fast, file-based database system that’s suitable for a small team, or learning and experimenting. The “Run User” field is the user that Gogs will run as, so we set that to the “devops” current account.
